The city I was born

Saint Sebastian of the Rio de Janeiro is the full name of the "marvelous city". I know even some "Cariocas" don't know this fact, but one thing is for sure, most of us have our arms extended to welcome the world, just like the statue of Christ, on the Corcovado mountain.
My main idea of Art comes from the happiness Rio's Carnaval fest infused in me since my very young age. In addition, our beaches with its exuberant flora and "morenas" (nicely tanned beautiful ladies) have kept my heart pounding and my eyes constantly searching for the best angles.
Also, the availability of many exotic hues under the tropical sun had left me many times overwhelmed,but that's what I love it. It's not easy to put on a canvas so much excitement. But I keep trying...it is what makes me alive! Peace.
